This
definitive double CD collection is sure to please the Gurus
fans.
No surprises, but all the expected favourites are here including
Miss Freelove '69 and A Thousand Miles Away plus many more.
Skull
Ring
Iggy Pop
Reviewer
:: Gaelian Ditchburn
I
have to admit that the majority of Iggy Pop's music was before
my time. In my memory, he is better known from the surreal
science fiction spaghetti western Atolladero I saw once late
at night. Iggy played a demented paedophile in the service
of a wheelchair-bound cyborg bad guy.
Perhaps the younger generation's lack of familiarity with
much of Iggy's music is some of the reason why on Skull Ring
there are several collaborative efforts with some of the new
guard of the industry. Jamming with Iggy you will find the
likes of Green Day, Sum 41 and Peaches. But along with them
you will also find a few tracks including The Stooges and
Iggy's backup band, The Trolls.
I'm sure Skull Ring would be a great addition to the collection
of any die hard Iggy Pop fan but I think I'll be giving it
a miss.

Voodoo Child
Reviewer
:: Gnr Shannon Joyce
Written
and produced by Moby under the name Voodoo Child, this is
his second album release of electronic dance music under that
pseudonym.
He wrote and produced it with the premise of shaking all the
associated single releases and music video promotions that
come with his albums. Primarily recorded to remind him of
the best underground clubs he's been to, it will leave you
satisfied that if you haven't been to one you're not missing
out on anything.
Techno heads or mild doof-doofers steer clear of this one,
but those who enjoyed playing with their synthesizers back
in the '80s, this will rock your world.
Ladies
Night
Atomic Kitten
Reviewer
:: Cpl Alisha Welch
Not
exactly funky, definitely junky - undoubtedly a CD that will
encourage the hidden teeny bopper in us all to emerge.
With the recent news of this girl group's split, this may
well be their last album. Many will breathe a sigh of relief
and many will simply shrug their shoulders - and that basically
sums up this questionable attempt at divaness. Let's hope
they don't launch solo careers! Take my advice and don't waste
your money.
Berlin,
the sex, the city, the music
Petrol records
Various artists
Reviewer
:: Lt Simone Heyer
Finding
an album indicative of a country - or city's, music style
can be an aural challenge. The latest bunch of location-related
CDs from Petrol Records - the city series, is equal to the
task.
Berlin, the sex, the city, the music, has a vital yet seductive
sound that's ideal for those who'd prefer to be in a club
in Berlin, than heading to the pub up the street.
The album includes a fair mix of genres with some German tunes
thrown into the mix.
It's not too dancey, but has enough bass to captivate and
beat to intoxicate.
